Bulgaria’s miserable campaign is almost at an end. A point will at least get them off the bottom of the table and they need to push for a win to try and reach the playoffs. They play host to the Czech Republic who passed a nervy test at home against Kosovo on Thursday to seal a place at Euro 2020. Read our Bulgaria vs the Czech Republic betting tips for more.
Bulgaria 10/3
Draw 11/4
Czech Republic 3/4
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Bulgaria skipped competitive action on Thursday night, losing a home friendly against Paraguay. That was their sixth defeat in their last seven games now (competitive and friendly). Bulgaria have failed to hit the back of the net in any of their last three games played and have scored one in their last five. They have looked very poor and they are D3 L4 in this qualification campaign.
It has been just a total of five goals scored in their seven qualification matches. Bulgaria are winless in their last twelve fixtures, losing seven of those. Bulgaria have won only one of their last 12 European Championship home qualifiers. They have conceded a total of ten goals in their three home games in this qualification campaign.
The Czech Republic won the first group meeting 2-1
Bulgaria are winless in six previous games against the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic are W5 D1 in the overall head to head with Bulgaria
Both teams have scored in just two of the six previous meetings
The Czech Republic hosted Kosovo on Thursday night. They fell behind in the second half of the game and had they have lost, automatic qualification would have been out of their hands. But they showed character in turning the game around to get a 2-1 win. The three points send them through to Euro 2020. The Czech Republic has a W5 L2 record in this campaign and won all their home games.
Away from home, they did suffer losses in England and Kosovo. But nothing matters to them in this one. A defeat won’t hurt them. The Czech Republic have lost three of their last six European Championship away qualifiers. They have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four qualifiers out on the road. But still, they are facing a very poor Bulgaria side here.
Away win at 3/4
Over 2.5 goals at 4/5
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Bulgaria have been shockingly poor in this campaign and there’s no reason to expect them to put in a big shift and collect a win in this one. The Czech Republic can relax and enjoy themselves and the away win his appeal.

Serbia are still in with a chance of booking a spot at Euro 2020. It’s only a slim chance, however. They have to produce a home win over group winners Ukraine on the night and hope that Portugal somehow fails to get an away win in Luxembourg. Because of that, Serbia look as if they are going to have to reach Euro 2020 by the play off route instead. Read our Serbia vs Ukraine betting tips for more.
Serbia Evens
Draw 5/2
Ukraine 9/4
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
It has been a case of so near yet so far for Serbia, unless something outlandish happens in the climax to Group B. Serbia took a 3-2 home win over Luxembourg on Thursday to at least keep their qualification hopes mathematically alive. They play host to Ukraine in Belgrade for their final fixture and with Ukraine having put together a very strong campaign, even Serbia getting a home win here is in doubt.
Serbia are on a four-match winning streak (competitive and friendly) and have won their last three qualifiers. On home soil in these qualifiers, they have taken a W2 L1 record, the one reverse happening against Portugal. All three of Serbia’s home games in this campaign have ended over 3.5 goals. Serbia have taken five wins in their last six home games (competitive and friendly) but will they get the better of Ukraine?
Ukraine have won all three previous meetings with Serbia
Serbia have yet to score a goal against Ukraine
All three previous meetings have been held in Ukraine
Ukraine played out a 1-0 home friendly over Estonia on Thursday as they took a break from Euro 2020 qualification action. They have secured top spot in this group with room to spare. Ukraine are undefeated in their last ten games (competitive and friendly) so they are in great shape at the moment. In this qualification campaign, they have taken a W2 D1 record on the road, the draw happening in Portugal.
They are no slouches are Ukraine who have lost just one of their last nine European Championship away qualifiers. They are W3 D3 in their last six such fixtures. They don’t have anything riding on this game, but for a team which has conceded just two goals in their seven qualifiers, it’s hard to see them losing.
Draw at 5/2
Under 2.5 goals at 19/20
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Serbia may not have the quality at the end of the day to break down the defence of Ukraine. The visitors have been unflappable in this campaign and even though they have nothing riding on it, they can avoid defeat. Draw.

France are heading to Euro 2020 as expected and will likely get there as group winners. A win in Albania will guarantee that. It was a narrow home win that they took over Moldova on Thursday which got them there. Albania have been eliminated. Read our Albania vs France betting tips for more.
France 2/7
Draw 4/1
Albania 9/1
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Albania were held to a 2-2 home draw by Andorra on Thursday, a result which they probably will have been very disappointed by. They had won two home games in a row in qualification before that. But it does at least move them onto a three-match undefeated streak of home form in fixtures, Albania having scored at least two goals in each of those three games.
After scoring only one in their previous four home fixtures (competitive and friendly) that has been a surprising burst of scoring output. In European Championship home qualifiers, Albania are W3 D3 L3 in their last nine, so they are unpredictable. After failing to beat Andorra though, you wonder how they are going to hold out against France. Albania have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six home qualifiers.
France are W6 D1 L1 in the head to head with Albania
Albania won their last home meeting with France 1-0
France have won both competitive trips to Albania
None of the last five meetings have produced an away win
A late penalty by Olivier Giroud gave France a home win in midweek over Moldova. That moved them onto a six-match undefeated streak of form in the qualification group since their defeat in Turkey. It made Olivier Giroud top scorer in the group with six goals. Les Bleus are at the top of the group now after Turkey were held to a draw on Thursday by Iceland.
France and Turkey have locked in the top two spots, so this group is done and dusted. France have won three of their away qualifiers in this campaign, the one slip up happening in Turkey. In five of their last six away wins in European Championship qualification fixtures, France have scored at least two goals. They have earned back-to-back clean sheets on the road now in such fixtures.
France to win to nil at 10/11
HT Draw at 7/5
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Albania have been scoring pretty well on home soil lately, and it may be worth just backing them to get to half time level. France don’t need full intensity in this match, but they still look the more likely of the two to collect a win.
15th November 2019 / lee - Category: Euro Betting
After hammering Montenegro at Wembley on Thursday, England move on to their final group match. Qualification for Euro 2020 has been secured and this will be a chance for them to express themselves under no pressure. Kosovo’s qualification hopes ended on Thursday with defeat in the Czech Republic. Read our Kosovo vs England betting tips for more.
England 8/13
Draw 14/5
Kosovo 18/5
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Kosovo took the lead out in the Czech Republic on Thursday night, needing a win to keep their qualification hopes alive until their final match. It wasn’t to be, however, as they couldn’t hold on and they lost 2-1. So they will miss out on the direct route to next summer’s finals but will be going to the play-offs. Kosovo have taken a W3 D2 L2 record in this campaign and they have remained unbeaten on home soil W3 D1.
Kosovo are undefeated in their last eleven home games (competitive and friendly) and they did put on a good show on their visit to England, losing 5-3. Even though nothing is hanging on this game, will they be able to take some massive confidence forward by taking a win over England? They did take a 2-1 home win over the Czech Republic earlier in the campaign, the Czech’s, of course, beating England in their home game against the Three Lions.
England won the first group meeting 5-3
That was the first meeting between the two nations
England moved on to a W6 L1 record in the group after taking a 7-0 win over Montenegro at Wembley on Thursday night. Harry Kane weighed in with a hat trick while Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham got his first international goal. Kane is up to 11 goals now in this qualification campaign. Raheem Sterling, who was dropped for the game, is expected to come back into the starting line up. Their tally against Montenegro moved England onto an average of over 4 goals per qualifier.
They have scored twelve goals in their three games out on the road. The Three Lions did concede in two of their three away games played so far, so it may be worth backing Kosovo to get on the scoresheet against them again. England have won eight of their last nine European Championship away qualifiers (L1). They have scored at least two goals in five of their last six.
England to win & both teams to score at 23/10
Over 2.5 goals at 4/5
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
This should be another win in the bag for England, although Kosovo are not a bad home side at all. With both sides relaxed as nothing is riding on this, it’s worth expecting the goals to fly around and an England to win & both teams to score option looks very good.

Something is riding on this game for Portugal. A win will guarantee them a place in the Euro 2020 Finals. If they were to suffer a shock defeat in this one, it could allow Serbia to beat them to second place in the group. Still, against Luxembourg, defeat doesn’t look on the cards for Portugal. Read our Luxembourg vs Portugal betting tips for more.
Portugal 1/16
Draw 9/1
Luxembourg 40/1
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
Luxembourg have taken four points on the board in this qualification campaign. That has come by a W1 D1 L5 record in this campaign. On Thursday night they suffered a 3-2 loss out in Serbia. That moved them onto seven goals for the campaign, while they have conceded at an average of two goals per qualification fixture.
Five of their seven qualification fixtures have ended over 2.5 goals. Luxembourg are looking for their first win of 2019 having posted a D2 L7 record this year. They have taken a W2 L5 record in their last seven European Championship home qualifiers. They have scored in each of their last five such matches.
Luxembourg are W1 D1 L11 in the overall head to head with Portugal
Portugal are on a nine-match winning streak against Luxembourg
Luxembourg have scored in 1 of their last 9 against Portugal
8 of the last 9 meetings have gone over 2.5 goals
Portugal pounded Lithuania 6-0 on Thursday, Cristiano Ronaldo chipping in with a hattrick. That leaves him as the group top goalscorer. It has been a W4 D2 L1 record that they have taken in this campaign, scoring at an average of just under three goals per game. Their away record is W2 L1 with their loss happening in Ukraine. Each of Portugal’s three away games have made it over 2.5 goals.
Their loss in Ukraine snapped a run of six straight wins in European Championship away qualifiers. They have scored at least two goals in three of their last four and are on a seven-match scoring streak on the road in such fixtures. Both teams have scored in five of Portugal’s last six away qualifiers.
Portugal 3-0 correct score at 7/2
1-0 Portugal HT Score at 13/8
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 14th, 2019 at 6:12 p.m.)
There should be no slip up by Portugal on this trip to Luxembourg. Portugal have been scoring well in the group and should have enough about them to easily cover a two-goal handicap in this game. Away win.
15th November 2019 / lee - Category: Euro Betting
Group G is fascinating. Poland are more than likely to get one of the qualification spots, so that leaves four teams (of which Austria are one) to compete for the other one. A win in this fixture would get the Austrians to Euro 2020. North Macedonia need a win to pull within two points of them with one game to play. Read our Austria vs North Macedonia betting tips for more.
Austria 1/4
Draw 17/4
North Macedonia 12/1
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 13th, 2019 at 3:33 p.m.)
Austria have taken a W5 D1 L2 record in this qualification group. They are top scorers in the section with 17 in total from their eight games played. They have taken a W3 L1 record on home soil in this campaign, the one reverse happening against leaders Poland. It’s been two clean sheets from them in their four home games. Given that their home output has been strong, they will expect to hold themselves together in this one.
Austria have put together an unbeaten six-match run in the qualifiers after a striking start in losing their opening two (W5 D1). The home record of Austria in European Championship home qualifiers is excellent. They have won seven of their last eight such matches (this campaign’s defeat against Poland the exception). In that sequence of eight home qualifiers, Poland have banked six clean sheets as well.
Austria took a 4-1 win in the first meeting in this campaign
That was the first international between North Macedonia and Austria
North Macedonia have some work to do in this one. With them absolutely needing a win, it does at least mean that they can turn up with single-minded intent. They need to throw everything that they have at this. It is a W3 D2 L3 record that they have taken in this campaign and out on the road, it is a W1 D2 L1 record that they have taken. Their one win happened out at the already-eliminated Latvia.
Their last qualifier saw them make a trip to Poland where they lost 2-0, which was after having secured excellent back to back successes over Latvia and Slovenia. North Macedonia have lost just one of their last five competitive away games on the road (W2 D2) but aside from their trip to Poland in this qualification campaign, they haven’t really faced anyone of note. Certainly not of Austria’s quality. North Macedonia have won only one of their last nine European Championship qualification away games.
Austria to win to nil at 20/21
HT/FT Austria/Austria at 8/11
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 13th, 2019 at 3:33 p.m.)
North Macedonia are probably going to come up short of producing a famous night that they need out in Vienna. They have to push hard in his one but that is likely to leave them exposed at some point and they will probably be picked off. Home win.

It is down to the wire now for Northern Ireland as they have to come up with three points in this one. Doing so would leave them level on points with the Netherlands with one game each left to play. Anything less than a win for Northern Ireland would likely see them eliminated on the night. Read our Northern Ireland vs Netherlands betting tips for more.
Northern Ireland 15/2
Draw 18/5
Netherlands 4/11
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
Northern Ireland’s qualification hopes are not all in their own hands. They are three points behind both the Netherlands and Germany in the race for qualification. So not only are they going to have to go out and beat the Netherlands in this one, but then Northern Ireland would have to beat Germany in their final qualifier. Head coach Michael O’Neill is leaving his job to take over at Stoke. But he stays on until the end of the qualifiers.
The Irish are W4 L2 in their six matches, beating Belarus and Estonia in both respective meetings before falling to back to back losses against the Dutch and the Germans. Northern Ireland looked on course to cause a huge upset in winning in the Netherlands last time out, then looked set for a point with 10 minutes to go as the Netherlands levelled it up.
But the Dutch would go on to score twice in stoppage time to sink the Irish challenge. The defeats against the Netherlands and Germany were both by a two-goal margin. Northern Ireland were undefeated seven European Championship home qualifiers before dropping their game against Germany at Windsor Park in September.
The Netherlands earned a 3-1 home win in the first group meeting
The Dutch have won the last three meetings
Northern Ireland have scored in just one of the last three meetings
The last meeting in Belfast was in 1977 which the Irish lost 1-0
The Netherlands need one more win to get them to Euro 2020. They collected a narrow away win in Belarus in their last qualifier, taking them out to a four-match winning streak in the group. That started with a 4-2 away success in Germany, having lost at home against Die Mannschaft earlier in the campaign. So the Dutch are sat level with Germany on fifteen points from this campaign.
The goals have been flying around from the Dutch who are averaging just over three goals per qualifier. They have scored a total of ten goals in their three away qualifiers in this group. The Netherlands were on a six-match winless streak of away form (competitive and friendly) before the start of this qualification campaign. They have, however, won five of their last six European Championship away qualifiers (L1) and are on a four-match winning streak in such fixtures.
The Netherlands to win to nil at 11/10
Over 2.5 goals at 9/10
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
This is such a tough situation for Northern Ireland. They have to go for broke but have two massive games to come. They can be buoyed by nearly getting themselves a draw in the Netherlands last time out. Can they stir themselves for a big night at Windsor Park? The attacking threat of the Dutch looks too good. Away win.

Scotland will be going to the play-offs as they can’t now qualify in the top two from Group I of Euro 2020 qualification. But they need to get some momentum up and running after a disappointing return. A win in this one will lift them above Cyprus by two points. Like Scotland, Cyprus can’t qualify either. Read our Cyprus vs Scotland betting tips for more.
Scotland 13/10
Draw 11/5
Cyprus 21/10
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
Cyprus have a W3 D1 L4 from this qualification campaign. This is a dead rubber and because they didn’t have success in their Nations League group, Cyprus have no chance of making it to Euro 2020. Cyprus took a 5-0 loss at home in their last qualification match, which was when they hosted Russia.
It has been only two wins in their last seven competitive matches that Cyprus have picked up, those successes happening on the road at San Marino and Kazakhstan. Cyprus have taken only one win in their last six competitive games at home (D2 L3). They have failed to score in three of their last five in Nicosia.
Scotland are unbeaten in six previous meetings with Cyprus
Each of the last three meetings have ended in a 2-1 win for Scotland
Scotland’s last four wins over Cyprus have been by a 1 goal margin
Cyprus have conceded at least two goals in all six previous games against Scotland
Scotland’s hopes of reaching Euro 2020 are going to rest on their playoff campaign. In their last qualifier the Scots took a 6-0 home win over San Marino. That snapped a run of four straight defeats in the qualifiers that they had been on. Scotland scored only one goal in that run of four losses, which were all against Belgium and Russia. Scotland’s campaign started on the backfoot as they lost 3-0 in Kazakhstan and have only secured a W3 L5 record.
One of those wins though was a 2-1 nervy home success over Cyprus. Scotland do need to try and get some competitive returns going still, they need confidence ahead of the play offs. They have however taken just a W2 D2 L5 record in their last nine European Championship away qualifiers. Scotland have failed to score in three of their last four such road games.
Draw at 11/5
Half time draw at evens
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
A short price on Scotland away from home is probably not going to have too much appeal for punters. There is at the end of the day, nothing at stake in this game and Cyprus may be able to frustrate the visitors. Draw.

Azerbaijan have only collected one point from their six games in Group E and are obviously out of the qualification picture. Wales are just about hanging in there but have to get a win out of this one to potentially push things to the final round of qualification action. Even win though may not be enough. Read our Azerbaijan vs Wales betting tips for more.
Wales 9/20
Draw 14/5
Azerbaijan 7/1
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
It has been a poor campaign by Azerbaijan, who, despite finishing bottom of Group E of Euro 2020 qualification, could still make the play-offs on the back of their Nations League campaign. It is only one point that Azerbaijan have managed in this group, scoring just five goals. They have conceded at over two goals per game on average as well.
There is little form from them in any type of match. They have lost five of their last eight games played (W1 D2) in both competitive and friendly action. Their home form isn’t all that bad in terms of them having lost only two of their last nine on home turf and they did pick up a 1-1 draw against Croatia in their last home qualifier as well. They are, however, winless in five European Championship home qualifiers (D1 L4).
Wales are on a four-match winning streak against Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan are D1 L6 in the overall head to head with Wales
Both teams have scored in one of the last four meetings
Wales have conceded in just two of the previous seven meetings
The chance of Wales reaching Euro 2020 is slim. They head into their penultimate match four points behind second-placed Hungary. Hungary aren’t playing in this round of action as they have only one more qualifier to play. That will be against Wales, in Cardiff on November 19th. So the situation for Wales is that they need to win this one and that game against Hungary as well. But Wales are two points back of Slovakia who could also have a say in the qualification race.
So there’s no easy path to next summer’s finals for Wales who are W2 D2 L2 in this campaign. The Dragons have only managed to produce six goals, which is only one more than what Azerbaijan have come up with. Wales are unbeaten in their last four games (competitive and friendly, and they have drawn their last two by a 1-1 scoreline against Slovakia and Croatia in this campaign. Wales have posted a D1 L3 record in their last four European Championship away qualifiers.
Draw match outright at 14/5
1-1 correct score at 7/1
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
Wales only managed to get the home win over Azerbaijan thanks to a late strike by Gareth Bale. It was a poor performance that they put in and it suggests, with their current away form, that they could struggle to get the win they need to keep any faint qualification hopes alive. Draw.

Belgium and Russia have both already done enough to qualify for Euro 2020. So while this is the top-billed match of the next round of action, there is nothing at stake now. After beating Russia in the first meeting handsomely, it’s unlikely that Russia will produce a big enough home win over the Red Devils to beat them in the head to head for the top spot. Read our Russia vs Belgium betting tips for more.
Belgium 21/20
Draw 12/5
Russia 5/2
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
Russia holds a W7 L1 record in the group, the only defeat happening in their first encounter with Belgium. Russia lost 3-1. They have been matching Belgium for goal scoring pretty much throughout Group I. Russia are averaging over three goals per game so far and have only conceded four goals. Three of those, as mentioned, were against Belgium, so that’s six clean sheets in eight games from them.
Even if they can’t get the top spot, can they secure a good home win over Belgium? That would give them a nice moral victory if nothing else. Russia have won their last six European Championship home qualification matches not conceding a single goal in any of those fixtures. Three of their last six wins in such fixtures have been by a 1-0 scoreline. In all matches, competitive and friendly. Russia are W6 L1 in their last seven at home.
Belgium won the first group meeting 3-1
Russia are winless in six previous games against Belgium (D2 L4)
The last meeting in Russia ended in a 3-3 friendly draw in 2017
Russia are D1 L1 at home against Belgium
Belgium have just cruised through this campaign. They have barely had to break a sweat and they have scored at least two goals in each game played so far in Group I. In total they have tallied 30 goals in 8 games. Because it has been so easy from them, their defence has rarely been troubled, and the Red Devils have conceded one goal only in their eight qualification matches, that being in their home win over Russia.
Since the end of the 2018 World Cup, Belgium have posted a W13 D1 L1 record in fifteen international (competitive and friendly). They have star quality in abundance. Their top scorer in the group is Romelu Lukaku, however, it is Russia’s Artem Dzyuba who is the leading Group I goalscorer with a tally of 9. Belgium have had 13 different goal scorers in this qualification campaign, nine of which have scored at least two goals. The Red Devils have won their last six European Championship away qualifiers.
Belgium to win at 21/20
Over 2.5 goals at 4/5
* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on November 12th, 2019 at 1:18 p.m.)
Russia couldn’t handle Belgium in the first meeting and while they get home soil advantage, and they are in good form, the away win still looks the best option. Belgium just have goals in them from all areas of the pitch and are just so difficult for opponents to get a grip on. Away win.
